I just bought myself a Nikon D3000 18-55 kit. The 18-55 lense is ok for simple round the house and in the garden shots. But i'm after an all rounder zoom lense, pref with VR functionality as I can't be assed with lobbing a tripod with me everwhere I go. I've narrowed it down to two or three possibilities:

1. Nikon 18-200MM F3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX
But at £600 it is a little much and I'm just startin out. (I could possibly find a 2nd hand one on ebay for £400, but still.

Who spent two years in a mental home and has slash scars on her wrist. So please, spare me any crap about her. She's just bitter that i dumped her and didn't want her back after she lied to me over and over again. But, you live and learn.

apparently you chose a pretty lovely but possibly needy individual who you could dominate. Hey, well done! You make mankind proud. You just reiterate everything that I hate about men. Fat, hairy, opinionated, and full of a completely incorrect sense of self-worth.
Except I would've tied you up and walloped ten tons of fucking shit out of you for the way you behaved, and unfortunately Jules wasn't physically capable of that because she's a lot smaller than me.
Consider yourself lucky and now FUCK OFF.

You listen to one side of a story and take that as gospel. Sure I was no saint. But neither was she. There are two sides to every stroy, It is judgemental individuals like you that really fuck me off. Try getting your facts straight lady!

always bringing the LOLS
FUCK OFF CUNTFACE, DON'T YOU GET IT? NOBODY AROUND HERE EVER LIKED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE AND AFTER YOUR SHITTING COURT CASE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A LONG STANDING JOKE.
Am I making myself clear here? NOBODY liked you. They all thought you were an utter arsehole. So fuck off, yeah?

it can be got 2nd hand for well under £400. Sell the kit lens and get it. Don't bother with the sigmas - you really do need VR if you wanna get anything usable at the 200 end w/o a tripod. They are also optically inferior.

the lenses I have a limited knowledge about won't be sufficient. But the way I've found out about great lenses is to look around on Flickr and look at the photo properties and also ask in the forums. There must be a flickr forum for Nikon D3000 cameras.

However, really good lenses don't have zooms, so the best, most crystal clear ones are all about fixed mm
